The coffee shop has long been a traditional place for sharing the events of life. Who’s new in town, how are the crops doing, who’s getting married... or devorced, what’s the weather going to be, and a whole host of other bits of tittle tattle. It can also be a place to find a friendly ear when life is hard. Steve and Marti Scott of Wendell recently opened the doors to a new coffee house at the north end of Wendell - The Blessed Bean. The doors (or drive-up windows) open at 4 in the morning, Monday thru Saturday for those early risers and close at 6 in the evening (4:00 on Saturday). Marti started her coffee making coureer at JR Java and ever since it closed she has wanted to return to the grind. It took two years of planning to finally open on June 1st, but

Attention Farmers: Acreage Reporting
Jerome County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director CED Tom Snow recently announced that producers who file accurate and timely reports for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage can prevent the potential loss of FSA program benefits. Please pay close attention to the acreage reporting date below for 2016. “In order to comply with FSA program eligibility requirements, all producers are encouraged to visit your administrative County FSA office to file an accurate crop certification report by the applicable deadline,” said CED Snow. The following acreage reporting date is applicable for all of the following counties: Twin Falls, Jerome, Gooding, Lincoln, Blaine, and Camas County, Deadline: July 15, 2016 - for all spring planted crops The following exceptions apply to the above acreage reporting date: • If the crop has not been planted by the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting is completed. • If a producer acquires additional acreage after the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 30 calendars days after purchase or acquiring the lease. Appropriate documentation must be provided to the county office. • If a perennial forage crop is reported with the intended use of “cover only,” “green manure,” “left standing,” or “seed” then the acreage must be reported by July 15th.
According to CED Snow, Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) policy holders should note that the acreage reporting date for NAP covered crops is the earlier of the dates listed above or 15 calendar days before grazing or harvesting of the crop begins. Production reports for past yields are also due by the July deadline. Fall seeded crops, alfalfa, pasture, rangeland should have been reported last fall. Late filing fees may be assessed if that report was not made. Spring planted crops filed after 7/15/2016 may also be assessed a late fee. Crop reporting dates have been changed several years ago, it is important to file a complete report to remain eligible for any assistance programs. It is very important to contact your county office and make an appointment. This will save you time waiting in line to report. For questions regarding crop certification and crop loss reports, please contact your local FSA County office. Twin Falls: 208 733-5380 ext. 2 Jerome: 208 324 4325 ext. 2 Gooding: 208 934 8472 ext. 2

Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...
Last week my friend Jim Super and I went to see the re-enactment of Custer’s Last Stand outside Hardin, Montana. This year was the 140th anniversary of the battle. The car gas tank was running a little low and needed a few more calories. Jim and I were thinking we could use a few more calories ourselves. We stopped in Big Timber, Montana, to replenish the car and ourselves. Once the car was fueled we wandered around the town doing a little sight seeing and gift shopping. While gift shopping I ran across a chocolate covered huckleberry ice cream bar on a stick. No matter what, there is always room for ice cream and I had not had my daily ice cream yet (and to think huckleberries are popular in Montana, I thought they were an Idaho thing! XXX). As Jim and I drove downtown we noticed the door open to the Timber Bar. Hummm, we say Montana, Cattle, could be a great place for a steak. We entered after parking the car and found us a seat across from the bar. Families were eating there as well, so I knew we were at the right place. Usually a place with an old Ford pickup outside catches my attention. In this case, everyone drives a pickup. New sign for me to observe. Each dinner came with a choice of soup, salad, or fries. I asked the server what kind of soup he had. I was thinking soup might serve my dinner very well. After all, I didn’t know for sure if they were serving genuine Idaho potatoes. The server told me the soup of the day was “lettuce soup”. I then stated, “So, you are serving me water for soup?” “No,” he said. “Lettuce soup.” I replied, “Does it have peas and carrots in it?” “No, just lettuce,” he said. I told him I would take a chance with the fries and I would have to pass on the lettuce soup. After the server left Jim said to me, “Tee, we have driven over 300 miles. We really should at least sample the soup.” “I guess you’re right,” I told Jim. I told the server I would try a little sample of the lettuce soup. The whole audience at the bar turned and looked at me as I stated my request. Did I have tourist stamped on my fore-head? Is this a local joke that everyone knows about and I am the new laugh? I started to feel uneasy about lettuce soup. I looked at the door to be sure I had an exit. The server brought me the sample. Jim and I both looked into the little cup. Sure enough, it looked like pureed lettuce in a liquid. I got brave and took a bite. Jim followed after I had tasted it. It was one of the most different things I have tried as a local (low-cal) food. Personally, I might eat a cup but probably not a whole bowl. I have talked to several people since I have tried lettuce soup and they want to try it...???... On the way home I again stopped at the Timber Bar Tavern to check out this soup. The owner, Melissa Chounet, told me it is cooked about once a month and she would be glad to fix up batch anytime someone wanted some. Lettuce visit Montana for a local (low-cal) favorite. This is my “Cup of Tee” and a “Cup of Soup.” Tee Hurd

Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion... The Courier News ~ 888-934-1862 Idaho Provisions Advanced in Idaho Auctions 39 Priest Lake Lots for $18.9 million House Interior Bill
from Senator Mike Simpson
Washington, D.C. - Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson today supported the House Interior and Environment Appropriations bill for FY17 during the House Appropriations Committee consideration. Included in the legislation are policies important to western states and critical funding for Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT), a vital program in the west that ensures communities are adequately compensated for the lack of tax revenue due to the presence of federal land. “Every county in Idaho depends on the federal government meeting its obligations through Payments in Lieu of Taxes,” said Simpson. “PILT is essentially the government’s property tax on the federal land it owns, and it needs to be paid fully and on time. I’m pleased that full funding was included in this bill, and I am also committed to fulfilling the promises made to public lands counties in the long-term and will continue working to provide permanent certainty for Idaho’s counties.” Simpson, who is vice-chair of the subcommittee, also supported language that would prevent a future listing of the sage-grouse while prohibiting any changes to resource management plans that are inconsistent with state management plans. The language also prohibits the withdrawal of mineral rights in sage-grouse focal areas. “The decision not to list the sage-grouse as an endangered species last September was a victory for western states,” said Simpson. “However, I remain concerned about the impacts of the BLM’s resource management plans and the consequences they will have on Idaho. This language ensures that state voices are a part of sage-grouse management and conservation efforts.” The Interior bill also includes a number of provisions championed by Simpson that benefit Idaho, including: · Full funding for wildfire suppression at the ten-year average of $3.9 billion for the Department of Interior and the Forest Service; · Language preventing the EPA from dramatically expanding its jurisdiction over state and local water under the Clean Water Act by changing the definition of “navigable waters”; · Language that directs the Fish and Wildlife Service to reissue two final rules removing recovered wolves in Wyoming and in the Western Great Lakes from the endangered species list; · Language prohibiting the EPA from moving forward
(BOISE) – The Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) auctioned 39 lots at Priest Lake for deeded ownership at a public auction in Coeur d’Alene. The land sales generated $18.9 million for the Public School Endowment. All of the leased lots in the auction have cabins on them and are under lease. The land is owned by the State of Idaho and the cabins and other improvements on the land are owned by the leaseholders as personal property. The current leaseholders applied to participate in the auction. Forty one leased lots were offered at auction, 38 of these lots sold to the current lessees. One lot had a competitive bid and was purchased by a non-lessee, the appraised value of that property was $740,000 and it sold for $1.1 million. The winning bidder must also pay the former lessee the appraised value for the cabin. Two lots did not receive any bids at the auction. All the lots are lakefront properties. The State can accept no less than the appraised value of the endowment lands that are auctioned. The total acreage of the land that sold was approximately 45 acres. In February 2016 the Land Board approved the auction of 334 leased lots at Priest Lake and Payette Lake by the end of 2019. Additionally, IDL will be auctioning unleased lots at both lakes over the next few years. In 2010 the Land Board approved a plan to divest the State’s ownership of most of the cottage sites at both lakes over time in order to reinvest the proceeds into assets that generate higher returns than the rent from the lots. Including today’s auction, 228 cottage site lots have sold 141 lots at Priest Lake and 87 lots at Payette Lake - for a total of approximately $97.7 million for the endowments.
with economically harmful proposals to regulate greenhouse gases from stationary sources; · Language that prohibits a ban on recreational shooting and hunting on federal and public lands.
Congressman Simpson also offered an amendment that prohibits the Bureau of Land Management from implementing their proposed “Planning 2.0” regulation until the agency provides additional time for public comment. The amendment was agreed to by a voice vote. You can view Congressman Simpson speaking on the amendment here. The bill, which passed by a vote of 31-18, now heads to the floor for further consideration.

by The Camas Bug Crew Houndstoungue - our featured weed of the week - may look harmless, but secretly it will take over your beautiful meadow in a very short amount if time. It is said that scientists used Houndstoungue as the model to create Velcro. Whether this is true or not is questionable, but it looks good in our article so we will keep it. This is the reason why this weed spreads so quickly; it sticks to anything it touches. It is our job as the Camas County Bug Crew to stop this plant from taking over the county. Here are some interesting details about Houndstoungue. Houndstougue is a biennial or short-lived perennial which reproduce by barbed seeds that readily adhere to fur, hair, and wool. The first year, the plant develops a rosette with hairy, linear leaves that range from 10-30 cm in length. Plants typically grow to from 35-140 cm tall the second year. The reddish-purple, 5-lobed flowers bloom June through August. Each plant produces an average of 50 seeds which are composed of four prickly nutlets, each approximately 1 cm in length. Houndstoungue’s ability to spread has created serious problems on rangeland and pasture where the plant quickly colonize disturbed sites and heavily gazed areas in riparian zones. Houndstoungue contains pyrroloizidine alkaloids making it poisonous to livestock and horses. Though this weed may sound frightening, do not be alarmed. The camas bug crew has the answer - Mongulones borraginis a seed feeding weevil, and its target weed houndstounge. This monitoring protocol was designed to be implemented by land managers in a timely manner and to provide pre-release monitoring data which will enable land managers and researchers to accurately quantify the impact of MUBO once it is released. We hope this insect will be cleared by the United States Department of Agriculture soon, so we can use it in the fight against this weed. Now that you know what Houndstounge is, you can be on the lookout for this nasty invader. Pull it out whenever you see it and be sure to throw it in the garbage or burn it. Remember, the seeds can still mature on the vine, even when the plant has been pulled. We all have a responsibility to keep Camas County beautiful and native.
